Aerosmith – Back In The Saddle

"Back in the Saddle" is a song by American rock band Aerosmith. Written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, it was the first track on Aerosmith's studio album Rocks, which the band released in 1976. "Back in the Saddle" was released as the third single from the album in 1977. It peaked at number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100. Despite being only a moderate commercial success at first, its stature grew over time to the extent that it has become one of the best known songs in the band's discography and has been a part of numerous live performances. In both lyrical and instrumental terms, "Back in the Saddle" is one of the group's most aggressive sounding releases (particularly in its openly sexual themes and forceful emotional tone) and has been compared to contemporary hard rock and heavy metal music during the late 1970s.
